Long Range RFID Readers

It is a reader that uses Ultra High Frequency (UHF) detection to identify a tag at a distance. The CDVI A6U48 is a UHF (865-868MHz) system for the identification of people and vehicles at a distance of up to 6 metres. The Acre N54504-Z106-A100 is an EPC Gen 2 (ISO 18000-63) compliant RFID reader that operates with passive UHF tags, and the CIE Group ACR-CRP12 identifies cards or key fobs with 902-928 MHz and 865-868 MHz UHF technology.

A reader at the entrance reads a tag or token in the vehicle, the control unit checks that user's access permissions, and access is then granted or denied. The Paxton 313-110 reads a hands-free token from within a vehicle at up to 5 metres. The CDVI A6U48 detects vehicles up to 80 km/h, and the Acre N54504-Z106-A100 is made for Automatic Vehicle Identification applications such as parking and gated communities.

It reads hands-free tokens at a distance, so a driver can be identified from inside the vehicle at a car park entrance. The Paxton Access 313-110 is designed specifically for car park access points, reads hands-free tokens at up to 5 metres and works with Switch2 or Net2. It also works as a close proximity reader for users without hands-free tokens, and only one reader is needed at each access point.

Read range depends on the reader and on the card, tag or token it reads, so compare the reader's maximum read range. The Paxton 313-110 reads hands-free tokens at up to 5 metres, and the CDVI A6U48 identifies people and vehicles at up to 6 metres. The CDVI A10U48-NR and the CIE Group ACR-CRP12 give 10m, and the CDVI DTRR1434R has a read range of up to 15m.

It is access gained without presenting a card directly to the reader. With the CDVI DTRR1434R, a card in a pocket or around the neck on a lanyard is still recognised and access is granted; the DTRR1434R is for hospitals, care homes and warehouses, and is compatible with DTXT long-range cards. The Paxton 313-110 has an integral hands-free interface for reading a hands-free token from within a vehicle.
